I can't help but having this strange "retro" feeling when watching Nibali riding up mountains... It's beautiful to watch for sure but so were other bike races in the past. Particularly during the mountain TT the difference in cadence to the other top-ten riders was stunning.

I dont understand you guys. When nobody attacks you say it's boring; when someone like Nibali attacks you say it's not normal and could be doping. Bloody effing idiot!

It's not just Nibali, it's the performance of the whole Astana team that I doubt to be credible (as described by CN). Folks such as Vino and Martinelli should've long been forced to walk away from the sport.

I get that their performance is outstanding, but wouldn't constitute as 'not normal'.

lunckypuncheur, I'm not picking on you (i apologize if you think i am). But sometimes I find it really irritating when some say it's a boring race when nobody attacks, but the second somebody does, it's like LA era again. Panache isnt dead yet and hopefully never will.

Personally, I don't think Fabio Aru's performance can be considered not normal. He got quite a result at last year's Giro, so I don't think his result suddenly sky rocketed from nowhere to where he is now. He has quite a result already prior to this Giro.

Poor poker by cannondale. OPQS screwed it up and would've had GS on the front at like 750m if they hadn't swamped them with all of 3 guys which just allowed GS and MC to sit it, break left at 300 meters and make it look easy.
